Manufacturer: Chrysler Group LLC

SUMMARY:

Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2014
Chrysler Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan vehicles manufactured
March 20, 2014, to April 22, 2014, and 2014 Jeep Wrangler vehicles
manufactured March 21, 2014, to April 22, 2014. Due to a software
error, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) may fail to learn the
locations of the individual sensors while the vehicle is being driven.
As a result, the low tire pressure warning light will illuminate,
despite the the tire pressures being within specification. Should one
of the tires lose air pressure, the driver would not be notified of the
change in air pressure. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the
requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138, "Tire
Pressure Monitoring Systems."

CONSEQUENCE:

If the TPMS light illuminates because the sensors cannot be located, it
could mask an actual low tire pressure condition, possibly resulting in
tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

REMEDY:

Chrysler has notified owners, and dealers will reprogram the TPMS
module, free of charge. The recall began on October 23, 2014. Owners
may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's
number for this recall is P63.

therapy, which can lead to death or serious adverse consequences.

Sync has not received any complaints or Medwatch reports of injuries
associated with this Voluntary Device Correction to date.

letter on November 11, 2014 and is in the process of revising its
labeling to clarify the use of these electrodes as incompatible with the

What You Should Do

Check to see if you have recalled products in your home. Recalled
products should be thrown out or returned to the store where they were
purchased.
Food contaminated with E. coli
O157 may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick.
Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, mild to severe abdominal cramps
and watery to bloody diarrhea. In severe cases of illness, some people
may have seizures or strokes, need blood transfusions and kidney
dialysis or live with permanent kidney damage. In severe cases of
illness, people may die.

Background

This recall was triggered by test results. The Canadian Food
Inspection Agency (CFIA) is conducting a food safety investigation,
which may lead to the recall of other products. If other high-risk
products are recalled, the CFIA will notify the public through updated Food Recall Warnings.
The CFIA is verifying that industry is removing recalled product from the marketplace.

Illnesses

There have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of these products.

NHTSA Opens Investigation into Graco’s Handling of Largest Child Seat Recall in U.S. History

Agency to Determine if Graco Failed to Report Safety Defect in a Timely Manner

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today announced that it opened an
investigation into the timeliness of Graco Children’s Products, Inc.’s
(Graco) reporting of a safety defect in child seats. The defect involves
buckles of child and infant car seats that stick or become stuck in the
latched position, creating an unreasonable risk to a child’s life in
the event of an emergency.
After continued pressure from NHTSA, Graco eventually recalled over
six million defective car seats earlier this year, the largest child
seat recall in U.S. history.
“The Department is committed to ensuring that parents have peace of
mind knowing that the car seat in which they are placing their child and
their trust is safe and reliable,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary
Anthony Foxx. “Any delays by a manufacturer in meeting their obligations
to report safety issues with the urgency they deserve, especially those
that impact the well-being of our children, erodes that trust and is
absolutely unacceptable.”
Under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, once a
manufacturer knows or should reasonably know that an item of motor
vehicle equipment, such as a car seat, contains a safety related defect,
the manufacturer has a maximum of five business days to notify the
agency. NHTSA’s investigation will evaluate the facts of the case to
determine if Graco violated the law.
“There is no excuse for delaying a recall to address any safety
related defect,” said NHTSA Deputy Administrator David Friedman. “If
Graco delayed in protecting children and infants from this defect, we
will hold them accountable.”
If NHTSA’s investigation finds that Graco was untimely in reporting
the defect, the manufacturer could be fined up to $35 million in civil
penalties. The Administration’s four-year reauthorization bill – the
GROW AMERICA Act – proposes to increase the Congressionally-established
cap on fines from $35 million to $300 million. The Department of
Transportation transmitted the GROW AMERICA Act to Congress in spring
2014.
